Richard Farrell (61), a soccer coach who was 45 at the time, was convicted by a jury of four counts of defilement of a 16-year-old girl on his team, with offences between August 2008 and January 2009 in Dublin. Gardaí interviewed him in May 2020 after the girl made a complaint, and he pleaded not guilty at trial, denying the charges and saying all sexual contact occurred after she turned 18. On 9 December 2024 at the Central Criminal Court, Ms Justice Eileen Creedon sentenced him to six years with the final two years suspended, from a headline sentence of seven years.
